A unique charity with an inspirational story and an exciting future.

In the UK, over 28,000 people each year are diagnosed with a primary or secondary brain tumour; only 11% of primary brain tumour patients survive for 10 years of their diagnosis; brain tumours are the chief cause of cancer deaths in children and young people; brain tumours continue to kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer; and brain tumour deaths are rising.

But these facts don’t help you when you are diagnosed.

People find they can’t walk; they can’t talk; they can’t see; they can’t hear; they can no longer drive, and they can no longer work. Treatment is harmful and remains unchanged in 20+ years. Neurological fatigue is debilitating, and behaviour and personality change makes family life even harder. brainstrust is uniquely dedicated to helping people overcome the challenges a brain tumour brings. We are here for the patient and those around them.

It has been a delight to collaborate with brainstrust. By referring our patients and their friends and family to this amazing charity we are able to ensure that all aspects of their needs are met.

Your help has been monumental to me in working through my thoughts and understanding of the disease. You have helped me gain a perspective on what has happened and to look at things in a new light. Thank you so very much for all your time and kindness.

Thank you for all your help, you were there when I was at my wits end and both the website and the box gave me the means to take back some control

Once again I can not tell you how reassured you made me feel yesterday. It was so important that I spoke to someone and you were there which I really appreciated

If it wasn't for brainstrust supporting me through my experience, I don't know where I would be right now

Received the brain box yesterday. I cried with happiness. It's just what we needed - the booklets, information, tea and even hand cream. You have restored our faith in human nature

Step inside brainstrust and you’ll find talented people working together to improve the lives of everyone living with a brain tumour.
